DATE: October 26, 2018
SUBJECT: Contract for Prosecution Services
BACKGROUND
Since 2011 Kenyon Disend has subcontracted prosecution services. As of August 31, 2018, they
discontinued providing any prosecution services. At that time, the City entered into a short-term
agreement with the Walls Law Firm, who had been subcontracting with Kenyon Disend, for the
remainder of the 2018. The City advertised a Request for Qualifications and Proposals for
Prosecution Services for 2019 - 2020 in the Seattle Times and the Daily Journal of Commerce and
with the King County Bar Association and the Washington Association of Prosecuting Attorneys.
DISCUSSION
The Walls Law Firm has provided prosecution services to the City of Tukwila for several years
through a contract with Kenyon Disend. When Kenyon Disend decided to discontinue providing
prosecution services the City opted to take the opportunity to go through an RFQ/RFP process. The
Walls Law Firm was the only one to submit a proposal.
The Walls Law Firm's proposal highlights their prosecution philosophy: Consequences to discourage
wrongdoing, rehabilitative requirements to reduce recidivism, and protection of victims and the
community, which aligns with the City's Strategic Plan. They are committed to providing effective
prosecution that is mindful of the City's resources yet innovative in meeting new challenges as they
arise.
In conjunction with the City's efforts to reduce 2019-2020 budget expenditures by three (3) percent,
the Walls Law Firm has proposed to provide prosecution services at a rate of $13,100 per month
which represents a three (3) percent reduction from their current monthly rate of $13,500 per month.
City staff recently conducted a survey comparing prosecution costs from local jurisdictions and
found that this is a comparable rate.
While only one proposal for services was submitted, the proposal includes all the services required
by the City to provide quality prosecution services, the attorneys have extensive prosecution
experience and have established positive working relationships with the Municipal Court, the Police
Department and the Public Defense Attorneys, and the proposed rate of compensation is

comparable with other local jurisdictions. For those reasons, City staff is recommending acceptance
of the proposal from the Walls Law Firm for prosecution services.
RECOMMENDATION
The Committee is being asked to move this contract forward to the consent agenda of the November
19, 2018 City Council Meeting for approval and authorization for execution by the Mayor.

SUBJECT: Kirshenbaum & Goss, Inc. P.S. Contract for Public Defense Services
ISSUE
The current contract for public defender services provided by Kirshenbaum & Goss expires
December 31, 2018. Attached is a proposed contract for 2019-2020.
BACKGROUND
The City of Tukwila contracts for public defense services providing legal representation for indigent
criminal defendants who qualify for appointment of counsel from the time of screening for eligibility
through trial, sentencing and appeals to the superior court, if necessary.
DISCUSSION
As Council may recall, Public Defense Standards were adopted by the Washington State Supreme
Court effective January 1, 2015. These standards delineate the number of cases each attorney can
handle per year and mandates that compensation include administrative and training costs. In
addition to the new Public Defense Standards the federal court decision, Wilbur v. Mt. Vernon also
mandates significant changes to public defense programs.
In 2017-2018 we paid a flat rate of $32,600 per month for public defense services to maintain a Public
Defense Program that fully complies with these requirements. We have evaluated the components of
our program and recommend that we reduce the flat rate to $30,600 per month for 2019 and 2020.
RECOMMENDATION
The Committee is being asked to move this item forward to the consent agenda of the November 19,
2018 City Council Meeting for approval and authorization for execution by the Mayor.

SUBJECT: Alliance One Lease Agreement
ISSUE
The current lease agreement with Alliance One Management Receivables expires on December 31,
2018.
BACKGROUND
Alliance One is the company Tukwila Municipal Court contracts with to provide collection services
for unpaid court fines and fees and manages long-term payment plans for court customers not in
collections. In May 2009, Alliance One began leasing space with the City of Tukwila. Per RCW
35A.11.010 and 35A.11.020 all lease agreements must go before City Council for authorization.
DISCUSSION
We are proposing a two-year lease agreement from January 1, 2019 - December 31, 2020 to coincide
with the biennium budget cycle, as well as a 3.33 percent increase ($30/month) in the monthly rent.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The 3.33 percent increase in rent means Alliance One would pay the City of Tukwila $930.00 a month
to lease space in the court area. In addition to the monthly rent, Alliance One will pay leasehold
excise tax pursuant to RCW 82.29A at the rate of 12.84 percent of the monthly rent in the amount of
$119.41 per month.
RECOMMENDATION
The Committee is being asked to move this item forward to the consent agenda of the November 19,
2018 City Council Meeting for approval and authorization for execution by the Mayor.
